Another of those cut-and-paste comedies from Adam Sandler's production company starring one of Sandler's erstwhile Saturday Night Live colleagues, The Adventures of Joe Dirt finds the magnificently caustic David Spade emasculated by a sentimental script and shapeless, haphazard cutting. Spade plays the title character, a white-trash orphan in search of the parents who abandoned him at the Grand Canyon. The humor is supposed to come from Joe's misadventures, his redneck gullibility, and his encounters with such figures as a serial killer, a wacked-out janitor (Christopher Walken), and a lovable gal (Jamie Pressly) who may, unfortunately, turn out to be his sister. But the squishier requirements of the story, requiring the audience to feel deeply for the pain of Spade's caricature, are an irritant and force Spade to veer from the nastier stuff he does so well. With Kid Rock, Dennis Miller. --Tom Keogh

 Good Movie. Critics are Jackasses. December 27, 2008
This movie was very good, and how the critics picked on it disturbs me. Its pretty funny and the acting by David Spade its pretty good. It was one of those movies that are under appreciated , and its really cheap so its definitely worth the money.

Two stars is pushing it for Joe Dirt. I found it insipid and stupid.
David Spade + Mullet = Funny February 18, 2008
Joe Dirt is the gut-bustingly funny tale of a character by the same name, payed by David Spade. He's a complete loser working as a janitor when he gets spotted and highlighted by a radio host (Dennis Miller) named Xander Kelly. The show gives us the privilege of hearing about Joe's life, and the hilarity ensues.
First and foremost, Joe is pathetic looking. He has a surgically attached mullet, porkchop sideburns, and facial hair that looks like the results of bad inbreeding. What's more, he is absolutely clueless about how stupid he looks. He's so worthless, in fact, that his parents abandoned him at the Grand Canyon, and it's this abandonment that begins his amazing journey.
Soon enough, we come to see Joe Dirt as not so pathetic, and we begin to empathize with him. He's just an honest guy, looking for his family and love, but just happens to look horrible.
There are far too many hilarious scenes to mention, but a few noteworthy ones are when he meets an Indian named Kicking Wing who owns a fireworks stand in the desert. In a matter of no time, the two are shooting fireworks into fuel, and causing massive explosions. The next thing you know, Joe Dirt is getting septic tanks dumped on his head, dog's ballls are getting frozen to winter porches, and beatdowns occur at oil derricks. All the while Joe is completely oblivious, spouting off lines like, "Life's a garden; dig it".
If you like to laugh out loud, then this is the movie for you. It's highly recommended. The entire movie provides laughs, and there are great cameos by several stars, namely Christopher Walken, who are intertwined in ingenious scenarios, one more outrageous than the previous. David Spade absolutely nails the Joe Dirt persona, and doesn't allow for a single dull second.
Silly, but with heart September 6, 2007
I liked this movie ... and I'm an old guy who should supposedly know better. I know the 'critics' bombed it, with some reviews almost sounding like they didn't watch it. Of course, 'critics' liked 'Everybody Loves Raymond.' I'm glad to see Amazon customers have some heart. Joe liked animals and was a good guy ... and the movie makers didn't sell him out for cheap laughs (well, you know, CRUEL cheap laughs).
I KNOW "THEY" SAY I SHOULDN'T LIKE THIS MOVIE, BUT....I DO!!! June 13, 2007

Silly, stupid...ridiculous! Yes, you could say all of these things about "Joe Dirt"! You could also say it's funny, hilarious and damn good entertainment! This movie will grow on you with repeat viewings. A good cast and a story with some heart make this one tough to dislike. The DVD transfer and extras are very good.
